Term Description

The Social connection and isolation panel is a set of five questions used to assess the number of types of social relationships on which a patient is connected and not isolated. Individuals receive one point for each of the following: being married or living together with someone in a partnership at the time of questioning, averaging three or more social interactions per week, attending church or other religious services more than four times per year, and reporting that they belong to a club or organization. A score of 0 (a summation of social isolation risks) represents the highest level of social isolation and a score of 4 represents the lowest level of social isolation. Among both men and women, a low social isolation score was associated with a mortality hazard ratio similar to that related to smoking and greater than that related to the other traditional clinical risk factors. PMID: 24028260 This study used the original NHANES III marital status question with an answer list that included 'Married - spouse in household' and 'Married - spouse not in household'. This panel includes the more common and recent marital status term since the answer list is more representative of what is being asked today.
